    We're looking for a new or used Thompson Center Powder Measure Model 7048 or 7047 to purchase immediately. Yes. We know that Thompson Center is out of business.

    Powder charge measuring tube

    Is Elk brand measuring tubes accurate? I use PRB and Triple 7 loose powder in a 45 cal pedersoli rifle.

    Risks of measuring your charge with the spout/suggested charges? (percussion pistol)

    I'm relatively new to black powder shooting and I was wondering if there are any potential hazards if I were to measure a charge with an 18 grain spout versus using a powder measure to load the same size charge. I own a Pietta 1851 Navy "Yank" in .36 caliber and I have a colt style powder...

    Drams to Grains?

    Howdy all, I just received my first powder flask in the mail today. It's a James Dixon & Son's & Sheffield flask with an adjustable spout measure. However its marked as "drams" and it begins with 2, going up to 3 as follows. 2, 2 1/4, 2 1/2, 2 3/4, 3. I can't find any consistent conversions...

    Dyeing Deer-Antler Powder Measures with McCormick Food Coloring

    Had trouble with my old eyes discerning the markings on some of my deer-antler powder measures. They came originally from October Country and are actual hand-made items made in America?!!! My solution was to enlist the aid of McCormick, who make food coloring. These can be used to dye eggs...

    What to use for a powder measure?

    I've got a little brass flask for dispensing powder, but what should I use to actually measure it (it's a .54 so I'd say maybe 35 grains of GOEX FFF)? Are there devices for that or should I just get a small tube and start counting. For everyone who was following my old thread about the antique...

    SOLD Pan Primer and Fish Motif Measure

    Here goes nothing, y'all. I got a fish looking scrimshaw antler powder measure and an antler pan primer that looks unintentionally inappropriate. It might be a hit at your next rendezvous. I will personalize it with your name or a hunter's star or weeping heart or any of the old symbology...

    1st attempt at antler powder measures

    I made these bad boys for a blanket shoot coming up. "Primitive decoration" with rudimentary tools. Files and a scratch awl. 30, 60, and 90 grs. Gunpowder and water to fill the scratches. The final on the 60 grain measure was turned on an old Dremel Moto-lathe. Any tips or tricks I should know...
